Tasks

A task, sometimes called a task type, is a description of a
required work item, a snag or a punchlist item, a checklist item, or procedure that must be
completed in a specific location on a project.

Tasks are categorized by task group, and each task relates to specific
trade.

Many common tasks exist in the Tasks Library. Using common tasks creates
efficiency and predictability throughout your business units and their projects.
However, if the task you need does not exist in the Tasks Library, you can create one in
a business unit. Tasks in the Tasks Library or in a business unit can then be assigned
to a project.

You can also create tasks in a project, and then copy them into a business unit so they
can be shared with other projects.

Once mobile devices are synced with the web application, device users can select tasks
that have been assigned to a project and place them onto locations. Tasks can also be
opened and completed on the device.

Task reports are available on the web application, where you can see information about
the workflow status of the tasks, created and due dates, the organization and/or package
that has been assigned to the task, and the issuing organization.

Business units are set up in a hierarchy that reflects the structure of your business.
Then each construction project is set up within the business unit that is administering
the project. Forms, tasks, processes, and other commonly used components of business
operations are all created in a business unit, and then can be shared among that business
unit's projects.

You can create a list of tasks for a location in a report. Once created, you can export
the list to use the information in a different application. You can select from a
number of different file types.

Using Viewpoint Field View™, Viewpoint Team™, and Vista™ by Viewpoint, you can create Field View form templates from Vista User Defined (UD) forms, and
Field View predefined answers from Vista UD lookups, and keep your data in sync
across all applications.

A project in Field View includes a hierarchical structure of individual locations
within the construction project. It also includes location-aware
plan drawings to guide users to the project locations where a
task, form, issue, or asset is located or needed. This structure enables you
to track and report on the progress of your construction project.

Barcodes and QR codes are used to identify locations and assets on the job site. You
print labels with barcodes and QR codes and affix them to their corresponding
locations and assets. Mobile device users scan the labels to quickly access the
associated information in Field View.

If you have an account in Viewpoint For Projects, you can add plan drawings from
Viewpoint For Projects into a Field View project. You can also replace plan drawings
in Field View with updated plan drawings from Viewpoint For Projects.
